Role of Atos work capability assessment ‘downgraded’ in ESA decision making process

Given that ATOS was recently given a £56 milliion 3 year extension on their contract, may I ask… can we have our money back please?

The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Chris Grayling): 

‘What we have sought to do is address the issues surrounding Atos that have led to concerns being raised. Let me be clear—Atos has no financial targets. A myth has been circulating for some time that our contractors are incentivised to find people fit for work. That is absolutely not the case and I am happy to put that on the record.’

What was the New Statesman’s lackey called again?

Cheers Dan
Although to be honest George Osborne is closer to Sir Piers!!

I’d forgotten all about Alan B’stard et al - thinking back it is beginnning to look more like prophecy than comedy!
